I’m watching the games and it’s clear as day to see his ankle is still bothering him. Just watch him go up for shots, he doesn’t have the same burst or lift, and he lands differently now, versus what he was doing earlier in the year

Then sit him like Mitchell until he’s better. And I don’t buy the “well we lose when DJ doesn’t play” excuse people use.
Dilly gets a pass. Bad game for him so far, but he's earned the off night. Guys like DJ and Edwards and Bradshaw have not.
I'm fully confident that Dilly could come back to Rupp Saturday and drop 25.

He isn't 100% but some fans could care less. His size defending opponents guards is his strength. He is needed on a bad defensive team. Sheppard has to play the point though 34 minutes plus for them to have a chance. Wagner isn't a PG neither is Rob.
No but that wasn’t a good look for Pitino.
And defending that is well, crappy.
It can be, but generally, it isn’t … because Dilly is too inconsistent.
Cats forced 11 turnovers. DJ has been a big part of that D.
I haven’t watched them, but 3-22 as a record and constantly getting blown out, they must be just god awful In every aspect. That just makes Louisville losing to them even more hilarious
He doesn’t have the mentality to settle in and take what the D gives him when his shots aren’t falling. He just presses harder to try and make up for the bad plays. It’s his biggest fault imo, if we could ever get him to have Reeds shot selection when he’s cold we’d be in much better shape. But when he is hot he’s one of the best in the country, so you gotta let him be Rob and see if it’s one of those nights. Just wish he had that switch to settle in after missing a few.

keep ‘em on the floor for 6 mins, I would’ve started em but we all know Cal has shat the bed on this start.

Yeah definitely a give and take a little bit I feel.
I just do feel if this is March 21st and we are still sitting at 21st in KP at 19.52 we are definitely on the outside looking in.
I feel like we have to have some separation....................a 9 point lead at the half in a game where we were only predicted to win by 4 is a good start tho lol
The only thing that drove up his hype so much was the whole "It's UK against DJ's grandfather" nonsense. He's really an average guard, maybe below-average.
Credit for what? Playing defense one game, then slacking on another....Don't think so!
Everyone has bad games at times. Dilly is fine.
Plus its one half.........he could go off this half.

Completely agree.
Sometimes we just forget about the other 50% of the game. Only half of the game is offense, we need dudes who can muscle and be physical and set the tone on defense. Wagner is that dude right now.
His last two games were so so.. still scored double digits, still shot well. It was Gonzaga that he had a off night. But I'm not ready to think Dilly hit a wall.. not yet at least. I do think to prevent that, he has to do a little this half. But more or less I think he's still dependable.
I know you don’t like Edwards but he is 2-3 in the first half I didn’t see him screw much up .
I do agree with you on Big Z though
I think the game plan was to not let them drive. Their guards aren't great shooters. I think they were willing to let them shoot some 3s
He should get serious consideration for SEC POTY. It feels like Knecht is getting all the hype, but their numbers are actually extremely similar.
wow, kudos to Edwards
Kid is improving

Bad news for teams if Edwards starts to play like a 1st-rounder
Come on boys drop the hammer on them!
